Research Overview

We are currently at the dawn of the multimessenger astrophysics era. My research interests span this field; studying gravitational waves, high-energy neutrinos, and X-ray to gamma-ray photons. 

I am a member of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory team, where I spend most of time searching for faint gamma-ray burst (GRB) counterparts to gravitational wave events. I developed the NITRATES pipeline, which performs the most sensitive searches for faint GRBs . 

I am also a member of the IceCube Collaboration where I'm interested in searches for high-energy neutrino sources, especially from X-ray bright active galaxies.
